Came down for a deep sea fishing trip. It was the perfect place to relax after a full day of fishing. Very clean and convenient!! I highly recommend this property.
Refrigerator pictured downstairs is not there, grill doesn’t really work, and master tv would not work. Pool was clean and house was comfortable though!
We stayed here as a family of four and overall it met our basic needs. The space was clean enough, beds comfortably fit all four of us, and the pool was clean and in good shape. We also appreciated the keyless entry locks — no need to coordinate with a manager for check-in or check-out, which made arrivals and departures easy. For the price, it seemed like a reasonable option, though it's worth knowing upfront that this isn't a glamorous or high-end space — more of a practical, no-frills stay. A few things to flag for future guests: We found a couple of small spiders inside during our stay. There was a dead moth on the dryer when we arrived. The house had a faint smell of cigarette smoke, noticeable at check-in and again each time we returned from the beach. The mattress in the main master bedroom was just okay — my husband found it uncomfortable. None of these were dealbreakers, but they're worth knowing about going in. If you're looking for a clean, functional, no-fuss home base near the beach and don't mind a few minor quirks, this could work for you.
The pool was great. The position of the house blocks the hot late afternoon sun. Perfect. Inside the home was clean and comfortable. Kids loved it. Would definitely stay again.
Good location. The kitchen was stocked very basic. A dishwasher could be added. There are no blinds on the bedroom windows, just sheer window treatments. Not going to sleep in here. Neighbors left there downstairs tv on the whole trio. Even if they were not there. The description of the house could be updated. No vacant lot next door for your boat. Pool was nice.
Clean, good location, easy access. Perfect for our fishing trip.
